[GOM] Clash of the Titans
February 14th, 2009 05:29 GMT
Thanks to Two Eight Six for the banner
Every season there is a match that promises to make the very earth quake and every denizen of the planet shiver with fear. This is that match. On 3/1/09, two gods of war will clash for control of the galaxy. The young revolutionary will fight for Aiur, his control of the corsair fleet and dark templar unmatched.To defeat him, the legend killer must summon all the fury of the Swarm. He is the perfect and merciless overmind. The battle will rage through the heavens, and only one man can emerge victorious.
This is a battle that promises to show the genius that was  Jaedong vs  Bisu on Blue Storm, and the brilliance that is the PvZ match-up. Both players will bring their A-Game and show us why StarCraft is better than any other game.
Lee Jae Dong
이제동, three symbols that strike fear and reverence into the hearts of man. He is a ZvP master, a match-up once considered his weakness, now considered to be his strength. Very few protoss have a chance of taking a game from this murderer, and Bisu has never been one of them.
Jaedong has been playing ZvP like Larry Fitzgerald has been playing football, and it doesn't look like this match is going to be any different. While I predict a decisive victory for the swarm, Bisu has proven me wrong again and again. This is the match-up Bisu invented. Does he have the strength to defeat the Swarm?
Kim Taek Yong
김택용, three symbols that inspire hope and incite revolution amongst the minds of Aiur. Bisu has had a stunning season, currently contending for an OSL title, and coming straight off MSL and GOM victories. Bisu certainly has the momentum on his side, but will it be enough to defeat the strongest zerg to ever walk the earth?
PvZ is the match-up Bisu revolutionized, the revolution that took down the maestro and brought him fame. However, his PvZ has been shaky since his humiliating loss to by.hero in the OSL. But a recent win against July has shown promise, and if that is any indication of his current ability, he may prove me wrong yet again. No progamer is more simultaneously loved and hated than Kim Taek Yong. He is the BoX master, the ninja, the revolutionist, the bonjwa that almost was. This is the match-up Jaedong dominates. Does he have the revolutionary edge necessary to restore his former glory?

I'm confused, is this a special show match? Could something give more info on what is the occasion? Are there other show matches in this series?

It's a showmatch between the season 1 champion and the season 2 champion. There are no other GOM show matches planned.

edit- Tadzio beat me to it

the bonjwa that almost was? More like the Bonjwa that almost is. Get your tenses right!

I love Jaedong and the swarm and all but I enjoy watching Bisu play even more. Bisu fighting!!

I believe Bisu has defeated Jaedong at least twice - once in proleague, and once aages ago.

|
Good article and can't wait for this match up. Go Jaedong Go!
|
They couldn't have ended up with a better matchup of two spectacular players.
Too bad Bisu's PvZ has been supremely shaky.

Reading a news article and expecting me to put spoiler warnings on it is stupid. News are spoilers.

I am SO stoked for this. Way to go, GOM.
Edit: and yeah, I agree with the Doctor (---^) about spoilers in news posts. Some people are just way too sensitive to spoilers...if you show up on a pro SC news site a day after OSL games have been played, you should expect to see the results somewhere - in fact, I think most of the trouble people go through to prevent spoilers is pretty silly considering how easy it would be for the people who don't want results spoiled to just NOT VISIT A SC NEWS SITE.
|
I think I just went gay for two men at the once. That picture is HOT1
I'm stoked to see another wild wild wild PvZ that these monsters have put out!!
|
lol it was so jarring to scroll down from the fierce, shadowy jaedong of the banner to the happy-go-lucky, "that's swell guys" Jaedong of the fomos picture XD

Well it was a news about GOM showmatch not about OSL ;D

Jaedong's gonna own this.

Oh man I thought it was this weekend not the next D:

Agreed

This is going to be an epic match and all, but is there a point?
Are the matches going to be Kespa sanctioned? Is there a prize? If no prize will the players take it as seriously as an actual final or blow it off for PL/OSL duties?
|
Hopefully JD brings his A-game, but he's been somewhat shaky the last 2 weeks :\
|
that is some shiny, shiny hair and a scary looking jaedong (i worry about his sanity sometimes.. seems just like killer these days)
|
can we request this to be Bo7 or 9?
make this a two day even if it has to, Bo5 is too short.
|
Btw go Bisu. In my imaginary he is a cute protoss knight facing the ultimate cold blooded vilain after Savior.

There is a 10,000,000 won prize money, if I am not mistaken.

Gone are the super fights, in are these new GOM Clashes.
Btw, how many games are there per match? Best of what?
I'm sorry if its in there. Its 3 AM and I just checked TL right before I slept.
|
whats the reason for this match? gom finals are over already
|
This is gonna be so awesome!! Too bad I won't be able to see it T_T
Bisu fighting!!! Hoping for a very close 3-2 victory

thats the point - its a showmatch between the gom season 1 winner (jaedong) and gom season 2 winner (bisu)
its for the fans
|
why did they make jaedong look so bad ...
or maybe it was done to both.. and bisu is just too good looking...

rofl "thats swell guys" thats great=D

I preety much cannot stress out enough how much I am looking forward to this match. The match between Bisu and Jaedong in the Round of 32 of the GOM TV MSL Season 4 (Link 1,
Link 2) was the first pro game I have ever watched and the reason that I became interested in Korean competitive StarCraft...as well as the reason why I became a Jaedong fan.
However, since I am also a Bisu fan, these kind of matches do tend to be a clash of interests for me.

That's what I was thinking.
That must have been a fun shoot "Ok KTY, go stand under the water for this shot." Jaedong looks like a complete badass though, he pulls it off.
|
I can't wait for these games...omg.
BTW, does anyone know what their match history is? I can only remember the Blue Storm and Andromeda games.
|
I Hope GOM does this every Classic season, and have a sort of "GOM King" gimmick. Like whoever wins season 3 will play the winner of this match to see who's the new "King" That'll make the GOM tournament a lot more exciting and prestigous than it is atm. Right now it's format is extremely straightforward and kinda boring (single elimination Bo3 all the way up til semmifinals, seeds only based on kespa ranking etc). The only prestige it has atm is a lot of cash prize

Same here. That'd be so bad ass! ^___^

I thought Flash won season 1, because Jaedong's profile doesn't have a GOM classic win on him but Bisu and Flash do. He does have GOMTV4 but i think that's a MSL, either way this match will be epic and hard to predict, but Bisu has been having more consistency and will have the momentum to 3-1 Jaedong

Jaedong beat Flash 3-0. GOM season 1 was not Kespa sanctioned, so the games aren't recorded in TLPD.

This will be epic! Cant wait to watch that!

It's 4:2 for Jaedong > Click!
It might actually go either way, both have very good results in this matchup. + Show Spoiler + Despite being eliminated from both major leagues by zergs, Bisu just showcased a very solid pvz against July.

Jaedong vs Bisu on bluestorm was freaking sick. Another good game was on destination but I hope this match will top those games. I can't wait!

That is such a badass pic, hoping for some great games!

A fact: Bisu is 13-3 in Bo5, but when he gets 2 wins, he's fucking 13-0.

I see a 3 and a 1. Seems right.

1st march is not 100%. The match will be postponed almost for sure as far as I got and the organizers are looking for the best date to make it happen, it may be 3.1. or even the week after that. I understood that the request for this is coming from SKT but OZ have nothing against it as well since they have a PL on 23th
|
I have edited the OP to march 1st. It will stay that way until I hear definite news otherwise.

Man I am so pumped for this match.

Bisu's PvZ's been shaky recently while Jaedong's ZvP is in pretty much top form.

GOM's site still shows the next live set for next week. Are we sure it's on the 1st? I assume gom is probably just slow at updating.

I hope bisu wins, but I'm pretty sure it's gunna go to JD 3-0...
|
Damn they are almost even at PvZ: Jaedong 64.29% vs Bisu 64.37%. Gonna be awesome.

I thought this was happening this weekend.
Looks like I either misread something last week, or this was delayed(?)
OR my sense of time has been distorted.

FURY OF THE SWARM.
I really hope its going to be epic and dont turn into a 3-0 for any of them.
